MREA 08 part 2 Mission
October 2008
The slocum glider ‘Trieste 1’ was deployed in the Ligurian Sea during the MREA08 Experiment. The main goal of the experiment was to collect oceanographic data to calibrate and validate the MREA (Marine Environmental Rapid Assessment) model system for environmental applications (i.e.: contaminant dispersal) in open sea and coastal areas. The glider experienced some technical problems (rudder damage, leakage) and performed only a limited number of profiles.
